Please read the explanation.

Explanation:

" "
The function given

color(red)(y=f(x)=(9)(3)^(2x)

is an exponential function.

The parent function of the exponential function color(blue)(y=a*b^x has

base color(red)(b with exponent color(red)(x

y-intercept: color(red)((0,a)

Conditions:

color(green)(b>0

color(green)(b!=1

Values of color(red)(x are extremely small in the second quadrant close to the x-axis, but in the first quadrant you can observe the values of color(red)(y increase rapidly.

Data table is given below:

Graph of color(red)(y=f(x)=(9)(3)^(2x):

You can also find the graphs of y=3^(2x) and y=2^x for comparison.
